Budithi Brassware

There
is a small village called Budithi in Central Srikakulam, a district in Andhra
Pradesh. Here, life revolves around creating beautiful shapes out of alloys.
The shapes range from the charmingly traditional to the elegantly modern. The
art form expresses itself as traditional cooking utensils and also in forms
that suit contemporary needs - like flower pots and planters.
Usually made of brass, the objects have patterns that are geometric, with straight
lines and curves forming simple and striking presentations. Floral patterns
abound too.
